Question

Why did God Himself have to come in flesh to suffer the penalty for sin?

Answer

Notice, God becoming flesh that He might suffer the penalty of sin, for He was the One Who pronounced sin. He was the…?…One pronounced this penalty upon sin. And He couldn’t have some individual person besides Hisself. It wouldn’t be right for me to say, “My wife will take your place, my boy, my brother, anybody else.” If I’m just and sovereign, I take your place. And God had to come down in His Son, Christ Jesus, to suffer. That’s right. And God’s Blood bled from His body. Yes, sir. God was in His Son. He eat like a man. That’s right. He spoke like a man (That’s right.) when He would talk to people. But I tell you, when some people come to take Him, one time, some soldiers, they went back and said, “Never a man spake like this.” He was a man, but that was God speaking out of Him. When He was standing, as I said the other day, by the side of Lazarus’ grave, tears rolling down His cheeks, He was a man. But when He said, “Lazarus, come forth,” and a man been dead four days come back to life again, that was God speaking out of His Son. Yes, sir.
